DRY MANHATTAN

INGREDIENTS: 2oz Rye Whiskey 1/2oz dry vermouth 1 dash angostura bitters 1 maraschino cherry 1 Orange Twist DIRECTIONS Add the whiskey, vermouth and bitters to a mixing glass containing a few ice cubes and stir. Put the cherry into a chilled cocktail glass and strain the mix over it. Twist the orange peel over the drink and add. This version is very dry as I like to taste the whiskey. The twist of orange isn't to everyone's taste but I prefer it to the cherry and often leave the cherry out altogether. You could also use orange bitters instead of the regular.

CHERRY COKE

CARRIE-TINI

INGREDIENTS: Tom Collins Mix Bombay Sapphire Gin grenadine club soda maraschino cherry DIRECTIONS I don't measure. Measuring's for suckers, so good luck! In a martini shaker, combine Tom Collins mix, Gin and a quick shot of Grenadine (just enough to make it slightly pink in color) with ice and shake. In a martini glass, place one cherry and a splash of club soda. (The soda helps cut the sweet/sourness of the Tom Collins mix.) Then pour the mix into the glass. It should be a beautiful light pink color and the cherry at the bottom just makes it look prettier. Enjoy! And let me know what you think!
